Retro Candy Week: Taffy

We conclude our Retro Candy Week with…. Taffy! Old fashioned taffy, salt water taffy, taffy wands. It’s all delicious and party perfect! Whether for a wedding, shower or birthday, this retro candy brings a touch of charm to any event. You could even put it on a cake!

Don’t you just LOVE this salt water taffy cake, created by The Cake Studio! A clever creation by this Ocean City bakery featuring taffy from Shrivers. Little boxes filled with taffy, like these from Martha Stewart, would be the perfect favor for a beach wedding! And old fashioned taffy wands, like these from Kate Landers Events, will have the kiddos jumping! Display them in a glass bowl or apothecary jar for an edible centerpiece.

A table setting takes on a romantic vintage feel when accented with old fashion taffy wands (photo by Chelsea Fuss). Or simply bag and tag taffy to create these lovely favors from Martha Stewart.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this week of Retro Candy Inspiration! If you include some retro candy at your next bash, be sure to share it with us. Happy Friday everyone!
